Virtual Screening, pharmacophore development and structure based similarity search to identify inhibitors against IdeR, a transcription factor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Abstract ideR, an essential gene of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is an attractive drug target as its conditional knockout displayed attenuated growth phenotype in vitro and in vivo. To the best of our knowledge, no inhibitors of IdeR are identified. We carried out virtual screening of NCI database ag...
